Medical ambivalence and Long Covid: The disconnects, entanglements, and productivities shaping ethnic minority experiences in the UK Damien T. Ridge, Alex Broom, Nisreen A. Alwan, Carolyn A. Chew-Graham, Nina Smyth, Dipesh Gopal, Tom Kingstone, Patrycia Gaszczyk, Samina Begum Abstract Structural violence - related to ‘isms’ like racism, sexism, and ableism – pertains to the ways in which social institutions harm certain groups. Such violence is critical to institutional indifference to the plight of ethnic minority people living with long-term health conditions. With only emergent literature on the lived experiences of ethnic minorities with Long Covid, we sought to investigate experiences around the interplay of illness and structural vulnerabilities. Thirty-one semi-structured interviews with a range of UK-based participants of varying ethnic minorities, ages and socio-economic situations were undertaken online between June 2022 and June 2023. A constant comparison analysis was used to develop three over-arching themes: (1) Long Covid and social recognition; (2) The violence of medical ambivalence; and (3) Pathways to recognition and support. Findings showed that while professional recognition and support were possible, participants generally faced the spectre and deployment of a particular mode of structural violence, namely ‘medical ambivalence’. The contours of medical ambivalence in the National Health Service (NHS) as an institution had consequences, including inducing or accentuating suffering via practices of care denial. Despite multiple structurally shaped ordeals (like healthcare, community stigma, and sexism), many participants were nevertheless able to gain recognition for their condition (e.g. online, religious communities). Participants with more resources were in the best position to ‘cobble together’ their own approaches to care and support, despite structural headwinds.

In our study of >40,000 Aussies 🇦🇺 with #CHD we found:
👉 risk of cardiac & all-cause death ⬇️ 20-30% with any PA
👉 walking & MVPA >150min/wk ⬇️ risk of cardiac & all-cause death by ~40%
👉 IF you did >150min/wk MVPA & <7hr/day SB, risk of death ⬇️ by 70%!

We presented a case report recently showing decreased blood flow to the head after exercise during stand testing in a person with ME who also demonstrated PEM/PENE and characteristic decreases in submaximal exercise performance. Kind of makes you think twice about symptom-titration and pacing up.
These are my books... each exploring aspects of medicine & what it means to care for others who may be frightened, in pain or facing the end of their life. I believe good medicine is the marriage of science & humanity - & that there is always something we can do to help our patients.

I’ve been on a patient advisory board for the patient-led research collaborative. When I see this, it is clear to me how doctors center their own power and comfort over patients all the time.
